So much has been said about the importance of corporate culture and employee engagement and their role in driving innovation, passion, purpose, retention, productivity, customer experience and results. Businesses have myriad options to develop and implement initiatives to drive corporate culture, but the truth is, NOTHING IS REALLY WORKING! Since we’ve been measuring and tracking the issue, average engagement scores haven’t budged. Stop trying to treat the symptom and focus on the cause. Unfortunately, the cause of disengagement is a painful one to discuss. Consultants are afraid to address the issue head-on for fear of upsetting their clients, and clients would much rather prefer to implement an engagement strategy that has nothing to do with actual change in leaders and management. That’s WAY TOO SCARY. With our Stop Taking Yourself So Seriously ™ services, we courageously address the issues, and embolden corporate leaders to work on the changes necessary to drive the culture that leads to a vital - much more vital - business. The crux of the issue is the nature of relationships between leaders and employees. When leaders lead from positions of strength and power, showing up with all the answers and merely expecting employees to do what they’re told, a culture of fear is created in which none of the best stuff can happen. Most employees leave companies due to their poor relationship with leaders (they leave managers, not companies), and fully 90% of people lack the inherent talent to lead people. Is there any wonder that companies can’t retain their best talent, and that the remaining employees are huddled in fear, bad-talking management and putting the wrong face on when working with customers? The work of the Institute targets your solution right between the eyes! Oh, yeah, and we have fun doing it!
